They were free to talk proposition in no uncer tain language, and they did. Johnson told them all he would be glad to consider anything they might say, and that's Just about as far as it will go. Ray, with his great promise of becom ing a champion collegiate quarter-mller, and his honest de sire to get a good education, won't end In a junior college when he can take his pick of the coast s major universities.
